Tang Xiao had actually been planning this transition for a long time.
The main warships, drones, and fighters were all being prepared for an overhaul, especially since many of the outdated warships had already been expended in the Eriadu system campaign.
Moreover, since the Salarians had absorbed most of the warship technology from EVE Online's Amarr Empire, the Fourth Civilization was now in a position to comprehensively refit its fleet with Amarr warships. The prototype designs for the Calamity-class and Hell-Angel Class Battlecruisers had been finalized and were ready for sea trials.
Naturally, none of this could be openly discussed throughout the Confederacy of Independent Systems. That was a matter for later.
Returning to the Confederacy of Independent Systems, after its naval vessel models had been finalized and production standardized, there were currently no plans to reform the Confederate Army. On one hand, the Confederate Army would remain a vital force in resisting the Galactic Republic's invasion for at least the next half year or more. On the other, too many reforms at once would only create even greater internal chaos.
The Confederacy's political system also began to change. Many new departments were established to specifically coordinate and manage the countless practical affairs throughout Confederate territory, gradually changing the current situation in which each member planet acted independently.
Then came the most important point: reforming the war tax policy that every member planet hated with a passion.
Previously, every planet had been required to pay war taxes, and those taxes had to be paid in money. The corporate magnates, obsessed with profit, refused to accept anything else. When some planets simply could not come up with the money, they could only borrow from the corporate magnates through mortgage loans, then use the borrowed money to continue paying their war taxes.
